Former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann took in about $231,000 in donations last quarter, according to a Friday announcement from his campaign for Congress. 

The numbers show that Hannemann raised less in three months than he did in his first month of fundraising. In the quarter that ended on Sept. 30, after just one month after announcing his candidacy, the former mayor took in $294,745. Complete campaign finance reports are due to the Federal Election Commission at the end of the month. 

The former mayor has solidly outpaced his best-known opponent, City Council member Tulsi Gabbard. But Gabbard had a strong showing last quarter. She received $203,500 in donations in the fundraising period that ended Dec. 31, a record-high fundraising showing for Gabbard in this race.

The Hannemann campaign said 82 percent of his donations so far have come from Hawaii residents, calling the response to his candidacy “remarkable.” A spokesman for Hannemann confirmed to DC808 that the 82 percent figure refers to all donations — those from individuals as well as from political action committees. 

UPDATED: An earlier version of this post said Hannemann raised $526,000 last quarter. That figure referred to his overall fundraising since Hannemann announced his candidacy in August. Hannemann has also loaned his campaign $12,000.
